Tom Clancy's The Division Functional Comms Module

thingiverse

SEP 10th 2018 UPDATE!!! I'm planning to further enhance this model and aim to make it available on Shapeway so people without 3D printers can create them! I'll post a notification here when it's done. I apologize if I was unable to respond to you guys in the past few years (yeah, I know...). My junior year of college was incredibly busy since then. If Ubisoft lives up to expectations, I'll be seeing you all in DC! This comms module is for Tom Clancy's The Division video game, often referred to as a shoulder beacon or computer, but here it's just an advanced radio pouch. It features or could have several functions depending on how far you're willing to take it: Working orange LED ring (the most crucial feature); Charging Port; Functional communication capability (Yes! It operates like the "real" thing, minus the holographic display); Specifications: 150X58X40mm; Please follow the orientation of the print as shown in the picture for optimal quality. (Pictures with Zortrax logo on the upper right corner). Stay tuned! I'll try to update this every couple of days until it's completed! Updates: 2/9/2016: The case can now be assembled after printing, everything is snap-fit, no screws or glue are required. A small lid has been added for future LED control switch. 2/9/2016: Lower Case updated; a possible fitting issue with the small lid was fixed. 2/9/2016: Lower / Upper Case updated; attachment points for the shoulder sling of the backpacks (velcro belts or zip ties might be needed) were added. 2/12/2016: Screw holes on upper case for LED mounting and neopixel base plate for neopixel LED ring were added. A photo showing the LED ring is available. 2/12/2016: LED Light Diffuser and Orange Halo components were added; beware that some of these parts require clear filament, .DWG files are also available for laser cutting. 2/14/2016: Lower Casing, Lower Cap, and Upper Cap were updated to address overall fitting issues. Details and fittings for Baofeng UV-3r walkie talkie have been added; detailed instructions will be available soon once the antenna is completed. 2/16/2016: A list of non-3D printed parts for the project was added. 2/17/2016: Antenna Frame was completed. 2/18/2016: Assembly test done! Everything is ready! However, I'll wait for a week before changing it from Work In Progress to ensure nothing else comes up. 2/29/2016: Comms test done; everything that's 3D printed is at its final version; I'm just doing some wiring now. Comment if you have suggestions or fitting issues. Thank you for your support! Regarding the neopixel LED ring, I recently discovered an interesting replacement option that could require less work: EL Panels. These glowing sheets can be cut into any shape you want, but you'll need to find the right color filter to cover on top; however, they're a little dim so they probably won't work well during the day.
